Geoffrey’s New Troops To Command: Toys R Us Re-Emerges as Tru Kids Brands

Posted on February 11, 2019 at 11:52 am by AzT under Other News

Following a turbulent year during which thousands of employees lost their jobs due to Toys R Us ceasing operations in the U.K. and Australia while moving through bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S., word comes today that Geoffrey is being given new troops to command at Tru Kids Brands.

Looking forward, the company’s No. 1 priority will be to “solidify the U.S. retail strategy for Toys ‘R’ Us and Babies ‘R’ Us,” says [president and CEO of Tru Kids Brands and former global chief merchandising officer at Toys ‘R’ Us Richard] Barry. “While I can’t say today what that exact strategy is, we do know that we will have an omnichannel approach that is tech immersive and experiential with a smaller footprint.”

Will this entity be able to capture business from companies like Hasbro that are still feeling the sting of Toys R Us’ decline? We might learn more about that possibility as this news will surely spread during Toy Fair New York week, so stay tuned to TFW2005.

Super7: Toy Fair New York 2019 Transformers Reveals

Posted on February 8, 2019 at 5:05 pm by AzT under Conventions, Toy Fair

Super7 revealed two new Deluxe Transformers Super Cyborg figures debuting at booth #5382 next week:

Each 11” tall Super Cyborg figure is fully articulated and features a transparent removable chest panel revealing the robotic guts within. The heroic Optimus Prime and evil Megatron are the first screen-accurate action figures of the original Generation One cartoon designs.

Like last year’s A-01 Optimus Prime and “Dead” Optimus Prime, we expect these items to be made available for purchase at future conventions in 2019 as well as the Super7 online store.

Stay tuned to TFW2005 for our upcoming coverage of Toy Fair New York!
